Chapter 683

Xu Xin retreated silently and closed the door, then pushed it open again to enter.

Seeing Lu Yang still sitting on the throne, he confirmed he hadn't seen wrong.

"Lu Yang, so it was you who did this!"

I investigated all the princes and princesses without a clue, and didn't even spare Eunuch Li's home, yet it turns out it was you, kid!

It's a good thing I suspected the Crown Prince earlier; His Majesty was right, it wasn't the Crown Prince's doing.

Are you so bored that you went to steal the throne?

Xu Xin's shout pulled the Immortal Fairy, who was chatting in the spiritual space, back to reality.

The Immortal Fairy wanted to find Senior Senior Ao Ling and the other two, but discovered they had already turned into two-dimensional figures and disguised themselves as paintings on the wall; only she and Xia Tian remained at the scene.

"What happened? What happened?"

The Ministry of Justice officials who followed Xu Xin to commend Lu Yang heard their superior shout and all stretched their necks curiously to look.

"My god, Wu Yu's disciple is capable; he even stole the throne. Even Wu Yu wouldn't have the guts for this."

"The student surpasses the master; the ancients did not deceive me."

"Officer Xu must have long suspected it was Lu Yang's doing, which is why he used the excuse of an award ceremony to come here and arrest him!"

"Don't forget, Officer Xu was the number one detective in the Imperial City back in the day."

"His blade hasn't dulled with age."

For a time, exclamations rose one after another; some were amazed that the culprit was Lu Yang, while others marveled at Xu Xin's divine foresight.

"Lu Yang, what else do you have to say?"

The Immortal Fairy was very loyal and didn't betray the three Great Generals, preserving the vital forces for the Great Bean Dynasty. She stood up from the throne and said righteously, "One person does the deed, one person takes the blame. This matter was done by me and Prime Minister Xia."

Xia Di: "..."

Couldn't you at least say I was a passing servant?

"Prime Minister?"

Xu Xin turned his head to look at Xia Tian.

Come to think of it, this guy named Xia Tian was present as a witness when Lu Yang reported the Fourth Prince, was by his side when Lu Yang persuaded Shi Lei and the others to surrender, and had a hand in stealing the throne. What is his relationship with Lu Yang?

"That's right, Xia Tian is the Prime Minister of our Great Bean Dynasty!"

"Great Bean Dynasty?" Xu Xin looked at the Immortal Fairy again.

The Immortal Fairy patted her chest: "The dynasty I established."

Xu Xin muttered to himself; he had just asked a couple of casual questions, so how did the matter get even bigger?

"... Arrest them both."

The Great Bean Dynasty's startup had just begun when it was besieged by the Ministry of Justice, with the Minister of Justice himself taking the field to arrest the First Bean Emperor and the first Prime Minister.

The Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator in the shadows pondered: his duty was to protect Xia Di, so if Xia Di was arrested by the Ministry of Justice, did that count as Xia Di encountering danger?

After the Ministry of Justice took away the First Bean Emperor and the first Prime Minister, the three Great Generals returned to their normal states.

"What should we do?" Jin Caiwei had encountered such a situation for the first time and didn't know what to do.

"Easy, let Lu Yang join our East Sea; we have diplomatic immunity." Long before the Immortal Fairy proposed stealing the throne, Senior Senior Ao Ling had thought of the possibility of the Immortal Fairy being caught, and just happened to use this opportunity to have Lu Yang change his allegiance and come to their East Sea.

Jiang Shishi rolled her eyes at Senior Senior Ao Ling: "You East Sea don't even have a country, where would you get diplomatic immunity? Lu Yang should join our Demon Kingdom instead!"

Jiang Shishi's idea was the same as Senior Senior Ao Ling's; both were to pull Lu Yang into their camp to make it convenient to be close to the Immortal Fairy.

"Lu Yang is mine!"

"He's mine!"

"Mine!"

Senior Senior Ao Ling and Jiang Shishi fought over Lu Yang's ownership, and Jin Caiwei looked at whichever side was speaking, soon becoming dizzy.

Imperial Palace.

After arresting the wanted criminals, Xu Xin hurried to the palace to report the situation.

"Officer Xu, what is the matter?" Jiang Qun hadn't expected Officer Xu to return so quickly after only half a day.

Xu Xin hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak of this matter; he hadn't thought of how to start even after thinking about it all the way here.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who stole the throne has been found."

Jiang Qun's eyes lit up; Officer Xu was worthy of being a divine detective, clarifying the truth so quickly.

"However, this matter also involves treason."

"Treason? Which of my brothers is it?"

Jiang Qun thought to himself that the Fourth and Fifth Princes had already been sent in by Lu Yang, and if Lu Yang wanted to use this method to have him ascend the throne, then only the Second Prince remained.

"Is it the Second Prince?"

"It is Lu Yang."

Jiang Qun was rarely confused for a moment, then understood the ins and outs of the matter; understood, this time it was reported by Lu Yang again.

Soon, Xu Xin's words overturned his conjecture: "According to my investigation, the person who stole the throne is Lu Yang. His purpose in stealing the throne was to establish the Great Bean Dynasty, which is to say he has the heart of treason. Also caught with Lu Yang is an accomplice."

"Lu Yang? Treason?"

Jiang Qun spent a great deal of effort to connect these two completely unrelated words.

Lu Yang is committing treason? Why, is the Congwendao Sect finally going to contend for the world?

"Your Majesty, how should this be handled?" Xu Xin asked. He had worked in the Ministry of Justice for two thousand years and had encountered such a thing for the first time, feeling helpless and having to seek help from his superior.

He found that the method of throwing difficult problems to his superior was quite useful and should be used more in the future.

Jiang Qun was also in a difficult position, unable to grasp the scale of the handling.

Never mind, since Father has temporarily handed the throne to me to handle, I cannot just muddle through it.

Jiang Qun slapped the table, the imperial majesty leaking out: "The Son of Heaven breaks the law and is punished the same as the common people; even someone from the Congwendao Sect is no exception. I will personally interrogate Lu Yang!"

"You go and bring Lu Yang to the Great Ming Hall!"

"Yes!" Xu Xin cried out in his heart that it was bad; it seemed His Majesty was going to be serious this time, and Lu Yang was in grave danger.

"Wait a moment." Jiang Qun called out to Xu Xin, and Xu Xin thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty had changed his mind and was going to let Lu Yang off?

"Move the throne to the Great Ming Hall as well."

"Is it as material evidence?"

"It is as a chair."

Soon, Lu Yang and his accomplice Xia Tian were brought to the front of the Great Ming Hall, to be personally interrogated by Jiang Qun.

Considering Lu Yang's special status, this matter was not widely publicized; apart from the Ministry of Justice, no one knew the throne had been found, nor did anyone know it was Lu Yang who had done it.

Jiang Qun wore imperial robes and a crown, walking steadily, his eyes bright and piercing, containing dragons and tigers. He sat on the throne, ruling the world, his temperament completely different from the Immortal Fairy wearing imperial robes.

The Imperial Guards lined up in two rows in the Great Ming Hall, holding ceremonial magic treasures, fully displaying the majesty of the Emperor.

"Officer Xu, have the people been brought?"

"They are already before the hall."

"Bring them up."

After Jiang Qun spoke, Eunuch Li called out: "His Majesty has an edict, bring the criminals!"

The entire Great Ming Hall was filled with Eunuch Li's echo.

Soon, four Imperial Guards brought two people up, and the morning sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

Jiang Qun couldn't see their faces against the sun; he was very familiar with Lu Yang, and even with his back to the sun, he could tell it was Lu Yang from his physique.

But the problem was, why did the other figure also look familiar?

Finally, Lu Yang and his companion walked out of the sunlight, and Jiang Qun saw their faces clearly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lu Yang and his accomplice Xia Tian are both here." Xu Xin said.

Jiang Qun: "..."

Father, are you playing a game of incognito visits on me?
